Just as the Memorial design was given to us by a gifted woman, the Last Firebase was written by a gifted woman. Anthropologist Lydia Fish has worked carefully for four years to assemble and refine the material in this guide. The Guide will serve for decades to help visitors with what has become the most visited memorial in Washington, D.C. Although the Memorial is now a National Park Service site, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund still remains in existence. In addition to putting on the annual Memorial and Veterans Day ceremonies, the Fund is concerned with the care and preservation of the Memorial. Hairline cracks appeared in several of the panels of the Memorial in 1984. In the fall of 1986 the fund had two of the granite panels removed for inspection and reinstalled with gauges to measure temperature stress on the backs. The author received her BA and MA degrees in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1960 and 1962 respectively. For the next three years she taught history in a secondary modern school in England, performed professionally as a folk singer, and served as an instructor for the North Carolina State College extension division at Fort Bragg, where I first became interested in the occupational folklore of the military. In the fall of 1965 she entered the Ph.D. program in folklore at Indiana University and received her degree in 1974. In 1967 she took a teaching position at Buffalo State College, where she is now a professor emerita of anthropology. Since 1982 she has been doing research in military folklore, with special emphasis on the songs written in Vietnam by the men and women who served there. The archive of the The Vietnam Veterans Oral History and Folklore Project, of which she was the director, contains over four hundred hours of songs recorded in Southeast Asia. She has given lectures on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial or the folklore of Americans at war and produced concerts for many colleges, museums and universities including the Naval Academy, Hampden-Sydney College, the Hudson River Museum, SUNY Binghamton, Canton State College, SUNY Purchase, City Lore, the Buffalo Naval Servicemen's Park, the Museums at Stony Brook, the Washington International Studies Council, the Montshire Museum, the Roberson Center, the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching Seminar, and the NEH Summer Workshop for Secondary Social Sciences Teachers.
